Cloud Dashboard for Managing Network Device Fleets — From Inventory to Telemetry to Lifecycle Operations

Let’s build a unified cloud control plane for your distributed fleet of switches, routers, gateways, and telematics TCUs. It brings together inventory, real-time telemetry, configuration control, and OTA updates — built to perform across unstable WAN links

Promwad delivers the full stack — from edge firmware (OpenWrt/Yocto, multi-WAN, MPTCP) to a Go-based backend and operational web dashboard — ensuring secure connectivity, controlled change management, and fleet-wide visibility.

✓ Reliable connectivity: multi-WAN with intelligent failover and secure
tunnels
✓ Controlled operations at scale: config versioning, audit, rollback
✓ Secure multi-tenant architecture: RBAC, OTA governance, remote access

 Technology Stack & Network Standards

We design systems that are API-first and fleet-centric — not “TR-069-first” or “SNMP-only.” That’s how you get real-time operations, lifecycle orchestration, and mobility-grade reliability. 

Edge platforms

- OpenWrt x86_64 for uCPE/branch gateways (e.g., Dell VEP-class devices)
- Yocto Linux for embedded/Automotive TCU-class devices (Linux kernel 6+ features)

Tunnels/transports

- WireGuard
- Optional transports commonly used in multi-WAN stacks (e.g., Shadowsocks / Glorytun)

Connectivity & reliability

- MPTCP (kernel MPTCP; optional path-manager concept)
- Multi-WAN policies: priority, sticky sessions/anti-flap, failover/failback
- Local breakout modes for survivability during cloud-side outages

Network functions (MVP vs expansion)

- VLAN 802.1Q, DHCP client/server, firewall zoning templates
- Static routing + BGP (FRR scope clarified to your requirements)
- Authentication: RADIUS / 802.1X, local auth (environment-dependent)

Cloud control plane & data

- Backend in Go (concurrency + network workloads)
- REST API + real-time (WebSocket / SSE)
- Telemetry landing store (e.g., MongoDB/TSDB concept) with retention/TTL + query API
- AWS baseline deployment (ECS/EKS/EC2) + IaC/CI/CD approach
- Observability: metrics/logs/tracing (OpenTelemetry-style approach)

Application Areas

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

- Managed CPE/uCPE fleets with multi-WAN aggregation and cloud operations
- Reduce incident time via real-time events + remote access + OTA campaigns

Network equipment OEMs / ODMs

- White-label management dashboard for switches/routers/gateways
- Faster time-to-market: onboarding, inventory, telemetry, firmware lifecycle “out of the box”

Automotive & mobility fleet platforms

- Telematics gateways (TCUs) with roaming, unstable connectivity, session continuity requirements
- Unified view: device health + connectivity + optional GNSS/metadata + update compliance

Enterprises with distributed sites

Retail/branch networks: standardized configs, change control, audit, rollback, uptime

Industrial IoT / field networks

Remote sites with mixed uplinks (LTE/5G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet/LEO satellite) and strict resilience needs

MSPs / managed connectivity providers

Multi-tenant isolation, delegated access, and operational workflows at scale

Share your fleet parameters to receive a realistic MVP offer (scope, architecture, and milestones).

Migration: From fragmented toolchains to one operational control plane

Problem: In live video and audio systems, issues usually come not from “high latency,” but from latency changing unpredictably. CPU/GPU and software-based pipelines can behave differently under load, updates, or parallel tasks, leading to sync issues, unstable timing, and risks that are hard to plan for. 

Promise: Our approach focuses on predictable, fixed timing using FPGA-based processing for Full HD/UHD/HDR or up to 8K workflows. By designing data paths with defined limits and stable behavior, independent of operating systems, we help teams deliver systems that behave consistently in real deployments.

Our Case Studies

Cloud Dashboard for Mixed Fleet (Automotive TCU & Branch uCPE)

Pain 

Unstable mobile networks and distributed gateways require session continuity and centralized ops. TR-069/SNMP tools don’t fit real-time mobility and OTA workflows. 

Solution 

  • Edge: Yocto TCU client + OpenWrt x86 client with MPTCP/OMR, multi-WAN policies, WireGuard tunnels, local breakout, HA behavior 
  • Aggregation: AWS EC2 aggregation servers in 1+1 HA with failover/failback 
  • Cloud control plane: Go-based backend (device registry, config versioning, telemetry/events, OTA, remote access brokering, multi-tenant RBAC/audit) 
  • Web dashboard: React app (tenant context, inventory, device details, onboarding, OTA views, logs/events, aggregation health)  

Result 

  • More stable sessions during roaming and WAN switching 
  • Faster fleet operations through real-time visibility and remote workflows 
  • Safer rollouts with upgrade-safe configs and OTA orchestration.

OpenWrt Porting for Multi-Vendor Wi-Fi Cloud Platform 

Pain 

A Wi-Fi cloud platform needed its OpenWrt-based OS to support 22 multi-vendor router models, despite hardware diversity, limited documentation, outdated codebase, and firmware restrictions. 

Solution 

Ported and adapted the OpenWrt-based OS across TP-Link, LigoWave, Open-Mesh, Mercusys, EnGenius, Mikrotik, and Siemens devices (Qualcomm/MediaTek). 

  • Reverse-engineered undocumented hardware 
  • Updated legacy drivers and resolved Ethernet/bootloader issues 
  • Identified hardware and security constraints, aligning scope with feasibility 
Ensured compatibility with the cloud platform, tested supported models, and prepared build and deployment documentation.  

Result 

  • Expanded multi-vendor hardware support 
  • Enabled centralized configuration, monitoring, and real-time Wi-Fi analytics 
  • Accelerated rollout of the custom Wi-Fi cloud solution across environments

FAQ

What devices are supported (switches/routers/gateways/TCUs)?

We typically target OpenWrt x86 gateways and Yocto-based TCUs, and adapt agents/clients to your Linux/embedded baseline.
 

How does onboarding work?

A claim/registration flow assigns tenant + site, applies a baseline template, and completes first sync.
 

How do you separate “desired config” vs “runtime state”?

Desired config is versioned and validated; runtime state is read-only and event-driven, with auditability and rollback workflows.
 

How do you handle high-rate telemetry?

We design ingestion + retention/TTL + query patterns and dashboards, with hooks for alerts and external systems.
 

What’s the real-time layer?

WebSocket/SSE streams for online/offline, link switching, and OTA progress events.
 

What security options exist?

RBAC, audit logs, optional SSO/OIDC, and optional device mTLS—scoped to your requirements and threat model.
 

How do OTA updates work?

Campaigns with staged rollout; signing/rollback patterns can be implemented per your policy.
 

How does MPTCP help?

It enables link aggregation or backup subflows, improving session continuity during WAN switching—policy is tuned to your fleet profile.
 

Can it run in our cloud / hybrid?

AWS is a common baseline, with portability considerations for hybrid or customer-managed infrastructure.
 

What inputs do you need for estimation?

Device count, telemetry rate, retention window, WAN topology, authentication model, and OTA depth.
